Wisdom for Marriage
Where the Genesis readings give marriage a cosmic frame, the Bible's wisdom literature pulls the focus close. Sirach praises the gift of a virtuous spouse. Tobit shows a young couple kneeling in prayer on their wedding night. Psalm 112 describes the just household where light dawns even in darkness. These readings honor the daily texture of married life — the small fidelities, the practical kindnesses, the long obedience in the same direction that turns a wedding into a marriage.
